Piece by piece, bit by bit
Deconstruct me
Rip me limb from limb
Take me apart
All for your amusement
Left in pieces
Just because you need to feel bigger
What kind of friend does it take
To try to outshine all that I do
No matter which way I turn
You've always got something better
No matter how happy I am
You always find the silver cloud's gray lining
Hold me down, keep holding me down
Use me as the lifesaver so that you won't drown
But the entire time, you're holding me under
Even as it all goes dark, I see your smiling face
Mocking me as I struggle to breathe
Every step I take, you shove me three back
Just to push yourself ahead a little farther
Does it scare you when I'm strong?
Is the idea of me getting ahead
Somehow too much for you to bear
What does it take to make you happy?
How low must I go before you'll let me be?
I deserve more than this
At the least, I deserve more than you

Maybe less...
Though I wonder who the subject is.

Thank goodness I had the gut to tell her to go screw herself.
And if this friend is anything like what you write here, I hope you do too.

I'm stupidly selective with friends which while it doesn't allow this to happen it does limit the amount of people I'm close to quite a lot. I do see this sort of thing all around me though, especially at the place I used to have a course, but then there were quite a few desperate people there trying to make ends meet, I guess they can be slightly excused for being that way...
The freeform structure suits the subject really well and it's written well because I can relate to the words completely through what I've seen and now I've seen this I don't think I could put it into words as well.
I like the last two stanzas most, coming to a climax but without anything particularly final about it, no sense of closure.
